Kentucky Massage Therapy Board Seeks Members One important way to become more engaged in your profession is to apply for an appointment to the massage therapy board. Five massage therapists and two public members are appointed to the Kentucky Board of Licensure for Massage Therapy for three-year terms; there are currently two open positions for professional massage therapists. ABMP encourages all independent massage therapists to apply for these open appointments. It is advantageous for a board to represent the diversity in the profession and hear different viewpoints. In order to qualify, an applicant for appointment must have been practicing at least five of the last seven years and be a resident of Kentucky. If you are an owner or director of a school you should not apply, as there are already plenty of members of the board who are involved with schools. The board meets once per month; generally the third Tuesday. Each member receives compensation for travel and a per-diem.
